WINTER NOTES.
Common Occurrences in and About
the City.
Matters of Minor Importance
Hastily Gathered.

The district court will convene at I0
O'Clock this morning.
A crazy Chinamau was taken off the
train from the Fast yesterday.
Sheriff Sharpless went to Sidney yes.
terday for the purpose of buying hay.
There are now eighteen prisoners in the
county jail. and they are a very well be-
haved lot.
A number Of people are taking trips
over the Cheyenne & Northern for the
purpose of seeing the road.
A few are sprinkling their lawns al
ready. Summer must be coming sooner
than the average person expects.
The Grow Indians in Montana have
made about $4,000 during the past year
by charging cattlemen for the privilege of
driving stock across their reservation.
Newspapers in the Yellowstone region
refer to Lieut.. Schwatka as a Jude be-
u he was knocked gu: by the weather
in the park and was forced to abandon his
expedition.
1t is reported hat Douglas, Wyo., is to
be the scene of a prize fight between two
very noted pugilists sometime in the near
future. Cheyenne will emigrate to that
place in this event.
Perishing cattle crowd the Yellowstone
river, in Montana, and many of them, in
their agony for water, plunged into the
air holes in the ice or into the holes
which ice packers have cut, and were
swept under.
The Denver papers of yesterday we're
filled with accounts of the hurricane in
and about the city and the state at large.
The velocity of the wind is given as sixty
miles per hour in the city. and 100 miles
an hour in the mountains. The storm
extended over a vast extent of territory,
including the southern, western and east
ern parts Of the state.
AL keaton is dying on Shell creek, in
the Big Horn country, from frozen feet.
There Is no surgeon in that part of the
country, and his friends have not enough
money to send for one, so amputation is
out of the question. He was frozen
while attempting to 90 to his claim on the
Big Horn, which it was reported had been
jumped.
A fuel famine at Fort Benton, Mont.
Is imminent, 500 per ton being o~ffered'fof
coal, but none to be bought even at that
price. At other points heard from they
are tearing down and burning fences and
outhouses. The fears heretofore enter
tanned for the safety of stock now extend
to a feeling of alarm for the safety of the
poor who entered the winter with little OF
no fuel and provisions.
Trains on the Northern Pacific railroad
were recently detained between Willows
and Alkali, Ore. by Il sandstone. The
wind blew so hard that the locomotive
headlight and lights in lanterns carried by
the train hands were extinguished, and
sand drifted upon the tracks tastes than
1t could be shoveled off. The only way
the trains were got through was by
shoveling the sand from the track and
pusnIus ahead foot by foe. the sand clos
ing in behind the cars as fast as they were
moved on.

nor or senator, but now Gilman is out
and Nelson is out and PiliSbury in. Gil
man was in Minneapolis fewdays ago,
and said he would not go to congress if
he could, though Senator Buchanan said
he could not if he would. When the
GLOBE announced some time ago the
deal mentioned above. the senator from
Benton read 1T in the Nicollet house and
uttered the prophetic words: "Gil may
want it but COmstock will get it, Yet
1t struck me, while saying it, that he
wanted it himself.
Then comes the afterthought. This
cabal at st. Paul was related by a
Staunch Republican, but the interpola-
tions are nay own. How this scheme
will strike several men right where they
live. There is Knute Nelson, for in
stance, who was never more thoroughly
in politics in his life than he Is
to-day. He is coldly pushed aside,
just as he was in the Republican
convention, last year. He is only
Scandinavian, and as the reelection of
Albert Rice is tribute enough to the
Scandinavian vote, why he must be sat-
isfied. Gilman can join him, if he
mourns. Rogers and Fayette Marsh and
Capt. Linden must take their medicine
like little men and like earnest, thought
Aui clu COAoiotCllG ICpupllCdlS. ouG
there are others who will not submit so
easily. Judge Rea has got too good
boom for congress to drop it suddenly,
and has already the backing of men
who have heretofore never sweryed in
their allegiance to Fletcher. They want
to retire the political hacks and ringsters
and make room for the young men of
the party. Then there is Frank Nc
Donald, who has a roll of mating ready
to walk OH to the state auditors office:
he will not fancy being pulled off by any
back Office caucus of leaders.
And last of all is Washburn.
The boom for that astute statesman is
being carefully fostered by Col. G.. w.
johnson, Y. r. But he is left out of the
combination entirely. He feels it his
duty to step in and save the party by
becoming candidate, but apparently
the cabal has not seen it in that light.
There is no use commenting on the gem
eral subject of the conspiracy It is
a time-honored Republican custom, and
if the voters do not rebel, why should
an OnlOOker? The statements are all
from truly good sources, of course.

and periodicals which is found very use
full to numbers of people every day in
the line of reference. Besides these
collections of a general public character,
hid away in private houses of the
wealthy are many libraries containing
gems in the world of books. That very
popular priest, Rev. Father McGolrick,
is believed to be the proud owner of at
least 5000 books, which are in his
unique and Interesting residence on
Third street. Gen. WaShburn possesses
a private library that is rich in congress
sional records, and Eugene Wilson, the
eminent local lawyer, is credited with
having collected in his time a most val
liable lot of books, chiefly famous au-
thorities in law.
In this rapid sketch there are neces-
sarily many omissions, still it will suf-
flee to give an idea to the many stran-
gers drawn hither at present by the Ex-
position to the state of the world of
books in Minneapolis. And the city
can claim it as quite arespectable show
ing that she can cOuntin round numbers
within her bounds $4,000 volumes that
are free to the general public to use.for
instruction or reference as they will,
and then there is the fact of the compile
ton at an early date of a magnificent
free library building that will rank sec
ond to none in the country when it is
finished TROUsDELL.

worthless fellow last winter hung about
one of the engine houses, and was fed
and lodged by the boys. He gained
their confidence, and time and
time again said he would repay
their kindness. Recently he disap-
peared and when he came back he had
new clothes and plug hat. 1t was
Sunday, and after shaking hands he
casually remarked, ssWhere can we get
something's" Naturally the reply was
chorused, tower at the drug store" The
result was that the beneficiary and the
benefactors repaired at once to the place
where tooth brushes, soda water and
sponges are sold. Everybody called for
''moxie'' and they got whisky. A visit
was paid to another drug store, and
Stnen the committee returned to the en-
CINE house. A few days later the drug
sgist was surprised, if not delighted, by
being arrested for selling liquor with
out a license. The firemen were equally
astonfshed and dismayed to be sub
poened as witnesses. The druggist
was arraigned in the municipal court
and was properly fined, and the firemen
were compelled to testify against him.
Now, the druggist swears he will not
sell even a cake of soap to a fireman,
and it all came about through the man
who was allowed to sleep in the engine
house last winter. He was in the en-
ploY of the license inspector and he had
used his former benefactors as spies ON
the druggist.

A Twin City Suggestion.

The gas pipes for the Exposition illu-

painted black. This is great mistake.
They should have been painted bright
golden color. In st. Paul for carnival
purposes next winter they should be
painted pure white. The effect will
be found tobe greatly heightened there
by.

sciously treading upon a volcano. He

Another air-hOle for the tunnel which
the city is digging on the West side is
being put down on Third avenue north,
opposite the Lowry elevator. The tun-
mel will be about seventy feet under
ground at that point, which it will
reach about Sept. 81, progress be-
ing made at the rate of ten feet per
day. The work is being prosecuted day
and night, three gangs of men working
in eight hour shifts each. The tunnel
will pass under the corner of the Lowry
elevator and will cross Fifth street dag
Louis yard. About 1900 feet remain to
be dug, and it is expected that the Job
will be finished about March 1, 1888.

The Secret of the V-shaped Back

Rochester Unions Newport Letter. -.
When woman begins to show her
age, the first part to lose its firm, youth
full contour is the face and chin, then
the neck and bust, and no amount
of alum-water washes nor ''astringent
pomades'' will restore frmness
to the fiabby muscles, and it then
becomes necessary to look about for
some other beauty that nature spared a
little longer, and the upper part of the
arms and the back keep their whiteness
and delicacy long after the rest of the
woman is paSse. For that reason was
the V-shaped back invented, and there
fore was sleeveless waists made,
which leave the arm exposed up
above the shoulder. Long gloves
hide many a wrinkled hand and
withered forearm, and the modestly
high front of the waist wells the faded
bust. while the black velvet ribbon tied
tightly around the throat retains the
loose flesh in its snug embrace. while it
whitens the rest of the neck by contrast,
and it also sustains the baggy double
chin, together with the wrinkle annihi-
lator,' which is made of alum and
paraffine and little sweet almond Oil.

de money ;
A Rather Sensational STORY.

The terrible expios ion nine years ago
viii oh destroyed the Washburn A and
several other mills, and extinguished
eighteen lives, is fast fading from the
memory of many who witnessed it, but
there are a few still living who were
employed in and about the mills, who
was caused by dynamite and not flour
dust. They claim to be able to prove
that a carload of the dangerous COM
pound was traced to the vicinity of the
mill, where it seems to have disap-
peared, and they say it was used in the
vicinity of the mill for blasting purposes.
Had it been shown at the time that this
was the case no insurance money would
have been recoverable, and there would
have been large damages to have been
paid for the loss of life and property.

THOUGHTFUL REPUBLICANS.
They Show the Democrats How to
Win in Early DAYS.

An election held in 1860 at st. An
thony Falls illustrates some of the
primitive Republican election methods.
1t was devised to cut the village out of
Ramsey county and give it to Henne-
pin. In order to do this it
was necessary that Republican
should be elected from district which
was strongly Democratic. The manner
in which this was accomplished was
simple but effective. The judges of
election were stationed at the second
story. window of the frame house at
which the voting was to take place. The
distance to the ground was about ten
feet SO that man would have to be
Gftedsup before he could hand his ballot
to one of the judges. The Republicans
had thoughtfully secured the presence
of about forty lumbermen, great big fell
lows and hard hitters. When a Repub-
hcan appeared he was Immediately
boosted up to the window by the husky
lumbermen so he could vote. The Ium-
bermen, however, would neither boost
the Democrats, nor permit any one else
to doit. In this way the Democratic
majority was overcome, and one of the
first 'srOusing Republican victories" in
the history of the state was achieved.

know that bliss is meier complete;
know OF no perpetual i'll.
know that life has many sides,
That some things here seem hardly meet;

While virtue walks with weary feet.

And that the grander is the goal.
SO much the grander tits to live.

That evil shrinks before his breath;
That only goodness gives ''good-by"

TsssSsEazE55SEj morning he found
R that his tool chest
had been broken
open and rifled of set of carpenters
tools worth about S15. He promptly re-
ported the theft at police HEADQUARTERS
where he was Informed that a city ordi-
nance required all secondhand dealers
In the city to report any purchase of
goods within twelve hours of their re-
celpt and that he would be notified if
the stolen goods were purchased-his
name and residence being taken down
and search would be made at once
for the goods. Returning home he
waited two days, and hearing nothing
further from the matter, concluded
ne would take it into his own
hands by making search of the second
hand stores. Starting down Washing
ton avenue, ne had not gone far before
ne espled plane in front of one of these
places which he recognized as his prop
erty, and, entering the store, saw the
rest of his tools displayed upon the
counter. He claimed the tools, but was
informed that they had been bought two
days before for $3.50; that they had been
reported at police headquarters, and
that he could have them for the sum
named. Going out, he called police
man, but the dealer claimed the property
on his former statement and the minion
OF the law said he saw no relief save by
paying the sum demanded. This the
owner refused to do, as he had re-
placed the stolen articles with
no very amiable state of mind over
the loss of his property he went to the
police headquarters to see if the pur-
chase of the tools had been reported, as
the ordinance requires. An examine
ton OF the books disclosed the interest
ing fact that the purchase had been re-
ported before noon of the day on which
they were stolen, and that through the
negligence" of the police in failing to
notify him he had lost his tools. The
olue-coats who were present have not
forgotten the ..bles sing" they received
from this victim of their neglect.
Q Midland dealer a blear-eyed, bibalOus-
looking specimen came in with a hand
saw and asked the dealer to buy it.
Il doan't want it, . he replied; 'sit ishs

"My name is John Smith. am from

While the Israelite was making an en-
try of the purchase on his book the me-
chanic examined the saw, and, finding
some initials cut upon the handle which
did not correspond with "John Smith,"
called the purchasers attention to them.
and remarked that the saw was probably
stolen one, to which the dealer replied:
Dot man probably bought dot saws
"HOw much do you want for it?''
"Vell, takes 60 cents. 1t is worth ST."
